Can guys and girls be just friends?

Straight men cannot really be friends with women. Not the same as they are friends with their male buddies.

This is, of course, absolute crap. Some of my best "buddies" are female. Even ones I find attractive! Crazy, isn't it? Some of us are actually capable of getting past that.

The problem is that neither the people who can't get past that nor the people who can are capable of understanding each other, and thus spend time yelling at each other and quoting romantic comedies instead of just realizing that people are different from each other.
